when you bleed brakes, always go in this order, rear passenger side, the rear driver side, then front driver then front passenger, thats the order thay done mine in the garage when i watched them, they put it up on the lifter and pumped the pedal 3 times till it hardend up with air in, then kept it pressed down and then opens the nipple till the brake fluid spat out, do that on all brakes with the pump pump press motion.
hope that helps

to bleed the rears turn the ignition on get someone to hold the brake peddle down about half way then open the n/s nipple and let fluid come out untill there is no air in it repeat on o/s turn ignition of the fronts are done the normal way as above

All done now!!!!
I removed the calipers to replace the seals and found that the drivers side only had one piston working and 3 on the passenger caliper
sorted now and the brakes are the best they have been in the 10 years i have owned the car
